probiotics?

i buy the Culterelle kids probiotics for my girls. It is at the drug store and is in powder form. Someone told me today that a pharmacist told her that they didnt do much good if they werent refridgerated probiotics? Any truth to this?

My daughters pedi had me but her on the powder probiotic (Culturelle) last week when we went in for her appointment (shes almost six weeks) He said that it has a lot of the things in it that she could use since im not breast feeding and itll also help her go to the bathroom. She doesn't have regular bowel movements :( So i dont thing it has anything to do with it being refrigerated or not.

Many probiotics are pH stabile so that they can survive in warmer temperatures. The probiotics I take and the ones my son takes have helped IMMENSELY and they are not refrigerated. (I used to believe they HAD to be refrigerated to be effective but I've discovered that that's far from the truth!) :) just my two cents I hope it helps! But of course u can get the refrigerated ones if your concerned and they work great!
